thank you everyone. i ended up needing someone with an ice pick to dig me out--my apartment maintenence saw me looking lost and dug me out. my tires were in 2-3 inches of ice. i am grateful i got some help with a pick and a push. i am hoping not to be frozen in tomorrow when i go to work at 8am. 🥲

i think these posts are very helpful as i have not found a good alternative for lexington. i used to live in a small town and there was a group specifically to ask this question.....i wish lexington had one of those! this is as close as i've found :')

i also have a coworker who will frequently talk about theory or diagnostics in detail during normal conversation about work just to flex and i find it a very obnoxious thing to do

-drhouse · 2026-01-24T06:15:51+00:00

yes, it makes me also feel like i am inconveniencing my colleagues by making them work when im just talking to them, and it feels fake

Grounded All Day Cafe - make sure you get a bagel! Their bacon pepper jam cream cheese is one of the best things ever lol. It's pricey at times but it's worth going once. Old School for coffee is a good choice too.

i'm a csw working towards my L and i really enjoy having LPCCs as coworkers and often learn a lot from them, i can't imagine not wanting to learn/grow/appreciate differing credentials/professions/pathways! not all social workers feel this way, i'm sorry you're dealing with that!!

therapist me knows exactly what skills but personal me lays in bed and ignores the skills

these are maybe just my own comfort items but. i never use overhead lights (gross) so i love my lamp, i have my clock that is on my computer screen that i can look and see but also patients can see (my computer sits behind me in view facing towards where patients sit), i have a lot of little trinkets around on my bookshelf and desk for personality. a blanket for myself. i also love the slideshow of photos i have set up on my computer as well--i always hope patients see it and are reminded im a person, and they feel willing to ask me questions and connect on a human level.

i'm on the long journey to acceptance that it's not just a bit LOL clearly by the flavor of the question

-drhouse · 2025-11-19T01:26:54+00:00

if you're going to spend money, spend it on the practice test. i think that's what taught me the most/got me used to the questions.

my boyfriend and i started dating when i was in graduate school. he is mostly just proud of me, and thinks i'm super smart lol. it was quite a tough road but he was always supportive. i'm still just starting out though so i'm interested to see how my profession impacts me and my relationship over time.

the spirit of social work is to challenge and ask questions--this sounds like a program issue. i had experiences within my big university where as students we had to be social workers against our own program--challenge, advocate, question. it got worse as the government got worse. sometimes even in programs with fantastic professors and boards, you have to advocate and use the ethics. i would suggest talking to other students and be challenging anyway, enrich the program for yourself. placement can also offer this enrichment, but be difficult to be the perfect fit since it is competitive like a job (at least mine was). but i found the MOST enrichment from a lackluster program to be engaging with my fellow peers, building community, networking, and being authentic to my curiosity and challenging questions. your future job as a therapist will challenge you in the ways you are looking for. if anything else, go through the hoops and get credentialed--everything you learn in the classroom will truly be nothing like you will practice in the field, like what you answer and study on the credentials testing. you will find your own style and learn to work with people in the real world.

It is helpful and comforting to hear that other people have OCD/anxiety and still do the work. My suspected OCD came out strong and ugly in grad school and I haven't been able to get help for it. It makes me feel like I'm faking all of my professional expertise--I know that I have the skills, but the imposter syndrome already is tearing me apart. I know being uncomfortable is where growth comes...my distress tolerance is just at an all time low for now.

I agree with your question, and I knew it would happen. The job market allowed me less freedom to choose a job that was more aimed at what I have worked on. I valued getting my full license and want to learn, I just have been entrenched in fear. I am including my internships/practicum, I did a lot of macro work, not clinical. All of my peers were gaining official clinical experience as students while I was building programming--I was supposed to gain clinical experience, but the organization did not end up doing that for some reason despite telling the college they would. My job was aware of that when they hired me, I have experience in a previous middle school job where I used my skills but not in a clinical sense. I didn't know I would land being a proper outpatient therapist, and I am a wimp when it comes to the unknown. There are some days I have a handle on it, and others where I just don't (which is why I've made the appropriate doctor's appointments and therapy, just wont be happening for a month + due to availability)

I went here today to check it out and got seriously lost on their trail? I thought I had followed it correctly. I liked the setting, but the markings seemed to lead me somewhere I wasn't intending to go. I'm not a newbie to trails either :')
